RECYC-QUÉBEC would like to know the environmental performance of the different types of beer containers on the Quebec market. The comparison of their potential environmental impacts should make it possible to define the sales quotas for each type of container as well as to adjust the indicators according to the type of container.RECYC-QUÉBEC has therefore mandated the Centre international de référence sur le cycle de vie des produits, procédés et services (CIRAIG) to carry out this study. The purpose of this study is to compare the environmental profile of different beer containers present on the Quebec market or in the process of being introduced, namely multiple-use containers (MUCs) and different types of single-use containers (SUCs), using the life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology.

Biomass energy, or bioenergy, is energy produced from renewable biomass, for which the assessment of environmental impacts through life cycle assessment (LCA) presents a number of challenges, in particular methodological ones. The general objectives of this study are to analyze current practices for carrying out LCAs of biomass energy, and to provide recommendations on current and future best practices.
Food choices have a significant climate impact, which can be unknown to the public. The CIRAIG, commissioned by Polytechnique Montréal, has been tasked with calculating the climate-warming impact of the menus offered by the cafeteria, aiming to enable students to understand the impact of their meals and change their eating habits to reduce it.
